Ping! An email has just arrived to announce the release of Laura Marling's third album A Creature I Don't Know. It's not out 'til September, but presumably her "people" wanted you to know in advance that she'll be playing some songs you've never heard before on the Pyramid Stage this weekend. Always a winning tactic, that.

Anyway, I openly embrace any new Laura Marling material - and the preview track they've send out is suitably beautiful. Taking the same guilessly natural approach as her Jack White-produced EP last year (listen to Blues Run the Game here), it finds Laura singing at the bottom end of her register over a scratchy acoustic guitar.

Should sound great when the sun rises over Glastonbury on Sunday. If you can hear her voice over the engine of the cider van.
